Who are some of the initial supporting characters we’ll see in Immortal Hulk? Will this book feature familiar Hulk characters, brand new ones, or sort of a mix of both?

Ewing:And finally, there’s an old favorite who’s new to this title – Walter Langkowski, aka the Sasquatch. He’s taking a leave of absence from Alpha Flight to sort out some personal issues, and he needs Bruce Banner to do it. Langkowski and Banner were college friends, and Langkowski ended up duplicating Banner’s experiments and becoming Canada’s own hairy half-a-Hulk – I’ve been fascinated by Langkowski as a kind of healthy version of Banner, an intellectual jock, a big, handsome ex-Quarterback, millionaire, beloved hero of his country and his planet, and gosh-darned nice with it. How did Banner ever get along with this guy? And maybe more importantly – if Langkowski is so healthy and normal, why doesn’t he want to change into Sasquatch any more? And why does Sasquatch suddenly have matted, filthy fur, drool on his muzzle and a vicious gleam in his eye? Alpha Flight fans might remember the Great Beasts – but as I said, we’re not doing old continuity. This is something new…

Bennett: I’ve been a huge fan of Sasquatch since I was a teenager! So it’s a real joy to get a chance to redesign the guy.

Glad to see a creative team using Walter for his brains rather than his brawn. Hopefully, whatever new direction they're taking Sasquatch in will be interesting, though the description they give: "...matted, filthy fur, drool on his muzzle and a vicious gleam in his eye..." makes me worried. Still, as it's along the lines of a horror story--and I love a good horror story--I'll wait to see what they do with him, and hope it's something cool. I may actually start buying comics again for this.
